Beautifully decorated demitasse cup and saucer. Lovely, formal 18th century French style decoration in very fine original condition make this cup and saucer a stand out. There are two maker marks on this set, we could see a mark sticking out from under the stamp on the bottom of the saucer so we scraped the top mark off to reveal the original under the glaze mark which is why there is a different mark pictured on the cup. The original mark is for Phoenix China, Czechoslovakia which dates to the early 20th Century. Extremely fine transfer ware decoration on both the cup and saucer with an inset panel of a courting couple on one side of the cup. There is a lot of gilded detail including the rims of both pieces and the handle of the cup. Very good condition. 4" saucer diameter, cup is 3 1/2" wide x 1 1/2" tall.
